Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 5 | January 27–February 2 | Doctrine and Covenants 3-5

As the momentum of the Restoration began, many were “called to the work” (D&C 4:3). Among those were Joseph Smith, Sr., the prophet’s father, who had also searched for religious truth for most of his life. Eventually, much of the Smith family would be instrumental as God’s servants helping spread the gospel to the world.

It can be challenging to think of the ways we can preach the gospel alone, but when we consider how we might bring hope and joy through Jesus Christ to others as a family, it doesn’t seem so hard. From family scripture study to sharing missionary memories, preparing your family to share the gospel will help everyone know that through living the gospel, God will be with us in “every time of trouble” (D&C 3:8).

Come Follow Me FHE lessons include everything you need to make family scripture study fun for your kids! Empower your children to love the gospel with our engaging activities. Start your free trial now!

THIS WEEK’S COME FOLLOW ME HIGHLIGHTS​

Elementary Bundle Lessons & Activities​

The lesson for this week is simplified but intentional to focus your thoughts and efforts on the Savior and His birth. We hope you take the time to use the activities provided to incorporate the light of Christ into your lives and into this special season

Mailing a Missionary

Go & Do Activity

D&C 4 is about missionary work. Think of the missionaries serving your ward and those who are out serving in other parts of the world. They dedicate their lives to Jesus Christ and leave many things behind. Spend time as a family writing encouraging words or drawing pictures to mail to missionaries you know. Remember to pray for them daily as well!

Testimony Roleplay

Hands-On Activity

Discuss as a family how important it was there were witnesses to The Book of Mormon. Read D&C 5:11 and focus on the three who bore testimony. Remind your children how it is not always easy to stand for the truth, but it’s important. Act out ways to bear witness and testify using the Witness Testimony Scenario cards.

Fiery Darts of Danger

Coloring Page

Jesus Christ is our Savior and protector. He will keep us safe from danger and harm, and especially from temptations of the world. Ponder D&C 3:8 as a family and discuss the “fiery darts” in your lives. Make a goal to make Jesus Christ a central role in your life to help keep you safe from temptations as you color the fiery darts coloring page.

“Comfort Ye My People”

There are stages in life that feel like they go on forever, especially in parenthood: sleepless nights helping kids stay in their own beds, potty training for weeks unending, and running to and from after-school activities. While the privilege of being a parent is a blessing, it can be exhausting just trying to keep up every day. Isaiah taught that when we feel like we have nothing left in us, we should rely on the Lord to give us strength (Isiah 40:29). After all, are we not caring for His children?

“A Marvellous Work and a Wonder”

One could look at the work being done by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints today and describe it as “marvelous” and a “wonder” (Isaiah 29:14). With temples across the world, missionaries on nearly every continent, and millions of suffering people relieved by Church aid, it truly is impressive. Yet Isaiah marveled not at the Church itself, but at the healing power of Jesus Christ in the hearts of so many of God’s children. It’s not the temples themselves that are a wonder, but the eternal covenants made inside. It’s not the number of missionaries serving that is a marvelous work, but the individual souls who are being taught by each sister and elder. It’s not the exact dollar amount spent on humanitarian efforts that made Isaiah’s vision great, but the difference made in each life through kindness and giving in the Savior’s name.

“God is My Salvation”

Though the writings of Isaiah can be intimidating to study, we are encouraged to dive in and embrace this special part of the Old Testament. Isaiah is unique in that the entire book is written by him, as opposed to the historical texts we read earlier this year. Think about it: the word of the Lord straight from the mouth of an ancient prophet in your own home.
